Daniel and Jeanette Tostenson’s journey into the food business began in Fergus Falls Minnesota in an approved kitchen at the local YMCA. As a family, they had all talked about bottling up Grandma’s old fashioned recipes and sharing their traditions with a new generation, particularly her sloppy joes. But these were more than just delicious recipes. They felt they were such that, when tasted and enjoyed, had the power to conjure up nostalgic feelings of old fashioned family memories, and just good feelings of simpler days gone by. Coinciding with this pursuit of evoking good old-fashioned family memories and feelings, some very unique characters from a magical village called Qwiznibet Square had recently been “discovered” who had some similar recipes of their own. They seemed to evoke similar feelings, and be the perfect complement to that which they were seeking to promote through Grandma’s recipes. One of these “citizens of Qwiznibet” was Henrietta, a 1950’s “Leave it to Beaver” type mom who also happened to be a cow! The pursuit of creating magical moments and memories through the recipes and Qwiznibet characters was a perfect fit. And thus, Qwiznibet Foods, including Henrietta’s Slow-Cooker Sauce and Sloppy Joe Mix came to be.
